Recruitment Agencies are now demanding that you "register" and fill in their extensive form before they will pass on your CV for vacancies they have advertised on job boards.

Among information they are after is:1) Which companies have you applied for in the last six months?2) Which companies have interviewed you in the last three months?3) What are your committed holiday dates? (Probably so they get get their brother in law to break into your home while you are away!4) What were the reasons for leaving (last six employers)5) What was the salary on leaving (last six employers)6) What other agencies are you registered with?7) What is your religion, date of birth, marital status etc?

You waste two hours filling all this in and then never hear from them again.
